description	Apply compact Agentic OS authoring rules when creating or updating commands, skills, workflows, automations, tools, registries, runtime templates, project worktrees, or reusable OS conventions.

OS Authoring Guard

Use this skill before changing Agentic OS operating surfaces.

Checklist

1. Read harness/rules/os-authoring-rules.md.
2. Confirm the active work item or create one through /add-spec or /auto-add-spec. Legacy /new-feature, /add-feature, /new-idea, and /auto-add-feature requests route to those same workflows.
3. Confirm source work uses the project worktrees/ registry when an external checkout is involved.
4. Pair directly invokable workflows/automations with command docs and skills.
5. Update command, skill, rule, hook, plugin, library, tool, and MCP registries when adding visible surfaces.
6. Update readable TOOLS.md surfaces.
7. Add a focused validation check or test.

Context Budget

Load the rule, registry rows, changed command/skill/workflow docs, and active work item. Do not load the full operating manual by default.
